@ hostel.
Dramatic day @ the hospital.
7.30am - 8.30am
Did a bed bath for a patient who couldn't move and was on a non-rebreathable mask, gasping for air.
Patient was running a fever and had many superficial wounds, with body fluids leaking out of arms.
After lunch at 1.30pm
Discovered that patient had passed on.
2.30pm
Performed a Last Offices procedure with preceptor, where we cleaned up the body with respect and dignity and prepared the body to be sent off. My first time!
..... .... ... .. .
Just this morning, I was telling my friends that we gotta be mentally prepared to do a Last Offices anytime. My instinct told me that someone was gonna pass on soon, but I didn't expect it to be that soon.
Really thank God for His grace and strength which saw me through. That couldn't have been me.

After duty, I went swimming with my friends hahaha. Happy that I advanced to the big pool! And my frog style is improving lol... I never knew how to swim the right way by the way... And to think that my best friend is a swimming coach and lifeguard. HAHA..
We swam for a good 1.5 hours and well, gained much calories thereafter. :)
A big kick to start off the week.
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......
Happy Birthday to Mon on a Mon-day!!! =P
